I just purchased a Piaggio Liberty 150 and this is the first scooter in a long time that I DONT have a windshield on. I also replaced my aging Nolan N104 with a Shuberth C3Lite helmet. The C3Lite is VERY quiet and Im almost not tempted to run a windshield. But I wear a noisy turtle helmet in the summer, so a windshield might be better. Windshields have the following:
Protect from all sorts of rocks and such.
Mostly quiet. Ear plugs not really needed.
Keep you warmer in cold weather.
And:
If you look thru them, they suck in the rain.
Some cause horrible buffeting. Its a try and buy thing.
No breeze on really hot days.
Have to use a special cleaner, can be pricey.
Im on the fence about buying one for the Liberty. What kind of scooter you thinking about putting it on and is it a factory screen or a universal model. Look thru or over it? The ones for my Liberty are look thru models.
